Matthew earned his physical therapy degree at the University of Vermont and spent years running his own private practice before joining Ability Allies, bringing more than 30 years of clinical experience to every session. He is Integrative Manual Therapy Certified and Bowenwork Certified, blending hands-on, whole-body technique with a deep respect for how the nervous system and connective tissue shape recovery. Matthew previously served on the Vermont MS Society Clinical Advisory Committee, work that sharpened his understanding of complex, long-term conditions. Above all, he treats each patient as a whole person, not a diagnosis, bringing patience and genuine care to every visit.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Kindness, patience, and hands-on skill guide every session. With Integrative Manual Therapy and Bowenwork techniques honed over more than three decades, and years spent on the Vermont MS Society Clinical Advisory Committee, Matthew treats complex and long-standing conditions with equal parts precision and compassion. He believes everyone is fighting some kind of battle, and that belief shapes how he listens, how he treats, and how he shows up for every patient who walks through the door.
Outside the clinic, Matthew is a lifelong student of history and a dedicated practitioner of martial arts. Both pursuits demand patience, discipline, and respect for process, qualities he carries directly into his approach to healing. Whether working through an old text or refining a technique on the mat, he values steady, deliberate progress over shortcuts, the same standard he holds for every plan of care he builds with his patients.
